DIR. ARMSTRONG;.
HE RESIGNS FROM THE EPISCOPAL
MINISTRY.
Why He Takes This step-says He Has
Been Badly Treated and Prosecuted
BY the Church Authorities.
Especial telegram to tho Dispatcll.l

ATLANTA. GA, March 1.--Rev. DIR.
J. G.. Armstrong, formerly pastor of the
Monumental church, Richmond, Vs.,
ard later of st. Philips, in Atlanta, has
formally Withdrawn from the ministry
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church, aud
renounces its authority over his actions.
The story of DIR. Armstrong; mis-
fortunes is well known. He came to
Atlanta heralded by his wonderful re-
putation as a pulpit orator. Unfor-
tunateIy for him the church TO
which he was called was at
war with its Bishop, the result OF long
years of bitter controversy. The pre-
ceding pastor, Rev. r. G. Foute, now
rector Of Grace church, San Francisco,
got out of the way to avoid unpleasant
incidents with the Bishop. II was thus
that DR.. Armstrong began his minis
trations under a cloud, which neither
eloquence nor zeal could remove.
During his last summers vacation GER
tain actions of his in Cincinnati
were formally reported, and the
trial that ensued resulted in the Doe
tors suspension for ten years, mitigated
by the Bishop to five. From that time
Ir Armstrong has been brought more
or less into great notoriety. Whatever
lie has said has been duly noted.
Several weeks ago he was invited to a
banquet in Augusta. He drank wine TO
one of the toasts, and this fact was duly
taken up and published abroad. Ger
tain members of the Church lodged
new complaint to the Bishop, and an
other trial was in contemplation.
When this fact became known to Dr.
Armstrong he at once wrote letter
Withdrawing from the ministry entirely.
DIR. Armstrong refuses to tell the con-
tents of his letter more than already in
dicated, but an intimate friend who has
read the letter says: "The Doctor de-
sires to relieve the Episcopal Church
from any responsibility whatever for
his action, and desires to be relieved of
any responsibility to the Church. He
therefore renounces the ministry. He
felt that he could not with peace and
dignity maintain relation with a
Church the authorities of which were
unfriendly to him"

IyDlANAPoLs, March 1.-The only
new feature in the legislative situation
was the action taken to-day by Roberts,
a Democratic member of the House, in
offering a resolution declaring Robert
son TO be legally elected Lieutenant
Governor, in which he was supported
by Pertram, another Democratic mem
Der. Bot two more days remain in
which bills can be passed during
this session, and the prospects OF
accomplishing any further Legislation
are not at all encouraging. In fact,
there is no probability of this. Gov
ernor Gray insists that he will not call
an extra session under existing condi-
tons, and the latter are not likely to be
changed by the end of this week. Both
Republicans and Democrats claim that
they are willing to go before the people
with tie records they have made.

MOBILE, ALA, March 1.-The steam
or w. III. Gardner, one of the largest
boats plying on the Tombigbee river
from Mobile, was burned this afternoon
three miles below Gainesville, Sumter
county, Ala. Captain +. s. Stone tele-
Graphs to the Register from Epes,
Ala, that the boat is n total loss,
together with AGA bales of cotton.
Tie loss of life is very large
as follows: S. C. Blackman, julie
Rcmbert and two children, of Dema-
polls; Mrs. W. F. Rembert and three
children, of Demapohs Theo. L.
Graham and G.. Rutes, and the follow
ing colored persons: John Bryant
(stoward), Green Jenkins, Henry Ford,
Hayward Hudson, l.. Lindsey, Virgil
Jones, Amos Harris, and three UNI
known.
Mrs. Rembert is the wife of the clerk
ard part owner of the boat. The re-
naming whites were passengers living
in the Upper-Tombigbee district. No
details of the cause and progress of the
fire have been received.
The Gardner was built five years ago
for the Tombigbee trade. She was
owned by +. S. Stone, ID. G. Coleman,
and w. +. Rembert, and was valued at
800, 900, and is reported to be fully in
ucd. The cotton was insured in local
companies for S25, 200.
1rs. Rembert and three children
lived in Demapolis, Ala, which is W.
+. Rembert's home, and also the home
of Jules Rembert. w. T. Rembert
lives here most of his time. Before
making the last trip he wrote his wife
to ioin him with his three children at
Demapolis and make a trip up to the
highest landing and return. 1t is sup
posed that he invited also his cousin,
Julo Rembert, and his two children,
and it was intended to be a pleasure
triu Tor the party.
She negroes who lost their lives are
decb hands from Mobile, and most of
them leave families. 1t cannot be
leaned that the boat was insured,
